The Boston Tea Party was sparked by colonial resistance to the Tea Act of 1773, which granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the colonies while retaining a tax on tea, angering colonists who opposed taxation without representation. In response to the protest, where colonists dumped tea into Boston Harbor, the British Parliament enacted the Coercive Acts (also known as the Intolerable Acts) in 1774, aiming to punish Massachusetts and restore order, but this further escalated tensions and contributed to the American Revolution.
